Oh man. I thought we were going two weeks. It's only been a week, right? Or does time fly when we're having fun and it's been two weeks?
Think of how crazy it's going to be with 4 teams all on one thread. It'll be interesting!

Me too!
Spreadsheets updated to here!I 've started looking through Agron's read books for the word chlorophyll but so far no luck
No luck in Saxa' s books!
Since we are heading toward the end of the week and soon the beginning of the third round, why not use the boon that we have left? Unless you find it in a book yet to be read. I searched for it in the audio I am reading but it doesn't have it.

Agron's new Goal: read a book where characters go to a dance
I have checked from the bottom of Agron's book up to All the Dancing Birds... so far no chlorophyllok all checked.. nothing... ahh that so sucks!
I found a book with Chlorophyll. Currently downloading it Will have it done by tomorrow as it is a short one.I am going to step up my reading next week while on holiday. There is no way we are going to beat anyone in round 3. I did the math our defense will hold off attacks but there is no way we will beat anyone.
Laura wrote: "Agron's new Goal: read a book where characters go to a dance"This confuses me.... Go to an actual dance like in middle school, high school? Or go to a club and dance?
Two books finished ... No goalEmma: Part One
Emma: Part Two
